Martin Margiela

Many took up Maison Martin Margiela's challenge to complete what he had left unfinished. Since late June 2004, SHOWstudio viewers across the world have been downloading his simple, shift-dress pattern and adding to it to express their individual vision. Once made up, the more creatively ambitious have interpreted their designs in fashion stories, surprising and varied. To showcase this two-way fashion dialogue, a selection of the best were posted in our Atelier Gallery.
